Wizard's Journey

Chapter 130 Wizard Civilization

Dozens of bizarre delicacies, exclusively for wizards, were presented one by one to the guests on the table by Alice, the wizard's wife.

Green cut off a small piece of bloody green meat with his knife and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable coolness in his mouth, followed by a refreshing cold sweat that made his body hair stand on end. It was like taking a hot spring bath after a cold winter, warming his heart and soul.

Involuntarily, Green let out a sigh of relief.

A strange creature, resembling a snail and the size of a baby's fist, was soaking in a wine called Tirola.

Under the cover of his teacher's wife Alice, Green picked up a thin iron bar and pulled out the little creature that was hiding in its hard shell and was already drunk. It was a pink, soft-bodied creature, which he then sucked into his mouth.

The moment it entered his mouth, Green felt a rich aroma spreading through him, followed by something throbbing between his tongue and palate before slowly sliding down his throat.

In the scalding hot mushroom soup, a strange fish that keeps blowing bubbles is devouring colorful little mushrooms one bite at a time, completely unafraid of the scalding soup around it.

Green gently scooped up the strange fish with a spoon and put it in his mouth...

On the dining table, delicate candles burned, replacing the more "modern" magic lamps, their flickering light filling the room with warmth, romance, and mystery.

There were six people sitting around the dining table. In addition to Peranos, Alice, Gahe, and Green, the other two were the deans of the academy who lived upstairs and downstairs from Peranos.

"Haha, you have no idea what that old snake queen from the Maze Academy looked like back then. She actually sent her precious disciple to cause trouble for Grin in the secret realm, and she was kicked out by Grin on the third day! Hahaha! This time, her precious disciple might not even get the qualification to become a prospective demon hunter wizard..." Peranos was extremely smug, and his stitched-up face became even more ferocious due to his exaggerated expression.

Alice, the teacher's wife, smiled, knowing that Peranos was extremely satisfied with his disciple, Green. She said softly, "Green is a good boy in every way, but alas... he studies day and night and doesn't take good care of his health."

Green gave an awkward smile; his teacher's wife's praise was truly spot on.

Even Green couldn't help but feel a little proud to receive praise from several deans.

Without showing any emotion on his face, Green just gave an awkward smile, then used a toothpick to pick up a purple fruit that looked like a human eyeball, put it in his wine glass, and took a small sip.

"Hmph, you old rascal, with your choices of disciples, Youquan and Green, you certainly have a good eye for them." The old wizard upstairs in Peranos, wearing a black robe with a cross on his back and a greatsword made of blue stone, still shrouded in mist, chuckled.

Peranos picked up something that looked like a silkworm pupa, peeled off its shell, sucked the flesh inside into his mouth, and grinned smugly at the black-robed wizard, saying, "How about it? Old ghost Qing Shi, how about we make a deal? I'll carry it upstairs, and you carry it down?"

Ha ha……

The female dean, who lived in the apartment above Professor Peranos, chuckled softly.

Unlike the old male wizard who carried a giant blue stone sword and still concealed his face, the female headmistress now possessed a beautiful, smooth face, as delicate and fair as a newborn baby's. She picked up a glass of green juice and brought it to her lips; countless tiny red, tadpole-like creatures swam within it as the juice flowed into her mouth.

The female dean shook her head, watching the other two deans and wizards joking, and whispered to her teacher's wife, Alice.

"Hmph... Want to move upstairs? Once Youquan or Green have their own wizard towers, you can move to any floor of their towers," the Black Tower Wizarding Academy Dean, whom Peranos called the Old Ghost of Blue Stone, said with a smile.

puff...

The female dean, who was talking with her teacher's wife Alice, couldn't help but smile again.

Peranos glared fiercely at the old man with the blue stone and snorted, "So you mean I have no hope of advancing to the Saintly Mark Wizard level? Old man, you'll find out sooner or later..."

…………

The next day, only Green and Peranos remained in the laboratory.

After hearing Green's account of the Santa qualifiers, Peranos exclaimed in astonishment, "You got 63,000 points?"

Green nodded, then asked疑惑地问道, "What's wrong? Is there any other use for these points?"

Upon seeing Green's affirmative expression, Peranos excitedly stood up, his eyes shining, and said, "It's useless for other aspiring demon hunters, but it's incredibly useful for you who are about to obtain the fragments of the Heart of the World! Because the number of fragments of the Heart of the World you obtain will be directly related to your points! The magic essence is secondary; the key is that you will gain more recognition from the primal will of the wizarding world, which will greatly benefit your future demon hunter career, especially when you are still a low-level demon hunter."

The fundamental will of the wizarding world acknowledges it?

Green frowned and asked, "What is this?"

Peranos explained, "If you are recognized by the World's Origin Will, then when you encounter otherworldly creatures in a place where the World's Origin Will is recognized, you will receive the protection of the World's Heart's will. Generally speaking, only fourth-level Saint Mark Wizards receive the protection of the World's Heart."

Green paused for a moment, then silently lowered his head and said, "But mentor, if I obtain more fragments of the Heart of the World, doesn't that prove that the Wizarding World is getting closer to..."

Peranos was also taken aback, his excited expression slowly fading. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "This is not something you should worry about. The wizarding world has its own rhythm. You just need to do your best. Only when you can one day become a Saintly Wizard or even a True Spirit Wizard will this matter be within your scope of consideration."

Green glanced at Peranos and nodded quietly.

Peranos sighed and said, "Alright. Now that you are certain that you can become a formal wizard and have gained the recognition of so many of the Wizarding World's Source Hearts, I will tell you the specific uses of this Source Will's protection."

At this point, Peranos paused briefly to reflect before speaking in a deep voice: "Every civilization shares a common trait: they grow stronger through continuous war and plunder, rather than weakening due to war's depletion and lack of future strength. This is the fundamental difference between the civilized world and the Great World. In our current wizarding civilization, every Saint-Stigma Wizard, through the Wizard Tower, receives an indescribable boost to their soul, enabling them to build slave legions that terrify the surrounding world in order to plunder more slaves and knowledge! However… this is only one aspect of the wizarding civilization's strength."

Green already knew about the slave army, so he wasn't too surprised.

Because the wizarding world is referred to as the world's slave-owning world by the surrounding world, this is common knowledge that wizarding apprentices can also come into contact with.

However, listening to his mentor Peranos's words, it seemed that the wizarding civilization possessed something powerful that distinguished it from other civilizations, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What else does the wizarding world have?"

Peranos sneered, "The Wizarding World also possesses the ancient wizards' space fortress technology and the primal will invasion technology obtained after the Second Civilization War! The combination of these two technologies has created the Wizarding World's unique primal space fortress invasion technology! Therefore, every alien world invaded by the Wizarding World will inevitably have a blood-red moon hanging in the sky... This is the Wizarding World's primal space fortress for invading alien worlds."

Green stared, mouth agape, utterly dumbfounded.

Green had indeed seen descriptions of the Crimson Moon in many ancient texts, but he never imagined that it was the primordial space fortress invaded by the wizarding world.

Peranos smiled and said, "When you become a Demon Hunter Wizard, you will follow the Origin Space Fortress to conquer other worlds. The closer you get to the Origin Space Fortress, the stronger the protection of the Origin Will will be. Both your magic recovery and the strength of your Wizard's Shield will be greatly improved."

Wizard's Shield?

Green asked in surprise, "What's a wizard's shield?"

Peranos glanced at Grin with equal surprise and said, "Your pale mask has a wizard's shield, doesn't it? That's a manifestation of the original will of the wizarding world. Hmm... but your wizard's shield seems a bit different; it appears to be incomplete. I don't know much about this, since I am, after all, an arcane wizard. Generally speaking, in an alien world without the original will of the wizarding world, a wizard's shield would be useless. If it did exist, it would become a powerful all-around defensive ability."

Uh?

For the first time, Green gained a new understanding of this defensive shield.

Just as Green thought Peranos had finished speaking, Peranos smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually, the wizarding civilization has another powerful aspect that you also know about. Because of its existence, wizards can ignore the distance between endless worlds, traverse endless void, and reach any destination with precise coordinates."

Ok?

Ignoring the distance of endless worlds, reaching the destination from the void, and even knowing it oneself?

Green frowned as he pondered.

Based on my knowledge of the world's structure, there are only two ways to travel from one world to a distant, unknown one.

One is to continuously traverse the closely interconnected material world, like a honeycomb, according to coordinates until reaching the destination.

However, although the connections between worlds are close, most of the connections are quite hidden. Sometimes, even a small spatial rift the size of a crystal ball is considered a close connection. If you can't find a spatial rift, it is really difficult to travel from one world to another.

Lower-level creatures simply cannot break through the world's defensive layers, while higher-level creatures will provoke a backlash from the world's primordial will. Facing a backlash from the world's primordial will is no joke.

The so-called fundamental will of the world is similar to the relationship between the countless cells of the human body and the will of the soul.

Another way is to travel through the "shadow" of the material world, the void world.

However, traveling through the void inevitably consumes the organism's own material energy every moment, and it is also very easy to get lost in the endless void, which is also home to equally terrifying void creatures.

(The void beings have no civilization; they are energy forms manifested by the exclusionary rules between the world's wills, and are another form of life that exists to maintain the stability of the endless world within the rules of the endless world.)

If beings in the material world cannot return to the material world in time, just as beings in the void world will inevitably perish and die in the material world, beings in the material world will also perish and die until they disappear completely.

For wizards, only those with the Holy Mark can rely on their powerful magic to roam the void and search for other material worlds in the indescribably vast void after establishing a wizard's tower and possessing the coordinates of a "lighthouse." However, relying on this method of search, if one is unlucky, a Holy Mark wizard may spend thousands of years without gaining anything.

So, what power does the Wizarding World rely on to ignore spatial distances and achieve accurate coordinates?

Green pondered, things he already knew...

suddenly!

As if struck by a sudden realization, Green exclaimed with delight, "Leverage!"

Other civilizations wishing to invade a new world must inevitably traverse from their original world through various worlds until they reach their target. However, wizards, by utilizing the reverse force of the lever of fate, can reach any known, precise coordinate in a short time, after paying a certain price!

Of course, the greater the number and level of the beings, and the farther the void is traversed, the greater the cost. Even for void traversal of extremely distant coordinates or of excessively powerful beings, the issue of "fulcrum" must be considered…

At the same time, a question arose in Green's mind...

What kind of civilization did the civilization that once fought two epic wars with the ancient wizarding world possess?

Why did the Wizarding World win once, but then lose and flee the next time?
